#cacowards — Public Fediverse posts

Updated @doomwadbot with the 2023 Cacoward winners and filled in some missing download links for the 2019-2022 finalists.

Plan to update with the 2024 winners by end of the week.

My map (and I) got a mention in this year's #Cacowards, towards the end of the #RAMP2024 write-up.

That was extremely cool.

(The map is more of a coding exercise than an actual level, though, which I suppose is what made it stand out.)

Still working on this but the basic functionality is there, so sharing.

@doomwadbot is my new Mastodon bot. It posts a selection of maps from randomly selected Doom and Doom 2 wads. Roughly once a day.

Current list of WADS is taken from the Cacowards 1994-2022

Doom. Часть 2. В поисках неведомого Кадата или магический реализм, сюрреализм и странные сны. 8 необычных вадов

Doom совсем не был бы тем, чем он является, не сопровождай его определённая степень сюрреализма как окружения, так и происходящего, выгодно отличающего его от условно типовых шутеров в стиле милитари, и не менее условных хорроров / психоделических работ, имеющих больше или меньше экшен элементов. Когда речь заходит о кастомных картах и вадах, то понятие того, что в целом считать сюрреалистическим часто размывается и его, как следствие, помещают на одну абстрактную полку с другими, в частности упомянутыми жанрами. Этот факт, пожалуй, отчасти обусловлен тем, что в чистом, дистиллированном виде, подобного рода творения встречаются куда реже, как в контексте кастомных вадов, так и если взять игровую индустрии в целом, но они существуют. Далее будут рассмотрены 5+1 карты и 2 вада, итого 8 работ, которые, на мой взгляд, являются удачными воплощениями, в той или иной степени взявшими за основному один из трёх ключевых элементов. Точечно подобного рода элементы в целом можно найти и в обычных работах, где особняком в частности можно было бы выделить вады под Doom 64. В тоже время в более чистом, дистиллированном виде, подобного рода творения встречаются куда реже, как в контексте кастомных вадов, так и если взять игровую индустрии в целом. В данной же статье была осуществлена попытка найти более "чистые" примеры, или, во всяком случае те, что приблизились к таковому статусу, начав с двух проектов, вдохновлённых, подобно играм в жанре инди, будь то " The Bridge " (2013) и, в меньшей степени, " Kairo " (2013), работами известного художника.

Following the "don't even screenshot Twitter posts, just steal them" mantra, bringing this one over here:

The Cacowards really said "I don't care if this specific wad is good, it was made by the worst bigots of the Doom community so we're not gonna mention it anywhere" and you know what?

Good. - @DacDoom

Hey, would you look at that, the Cacowards 2023 are now live! This is the first time I catch them right as they are released, so I'm looking forward to checking them out and seeing all the amazing content that came out this year.

A thing that has been bothering me since moving here is: where my Doom people at?

The OG Doom (1994) and surrounding modding community is the one part of my twitter feed I haven't been able to reconnect with. If anyone has any recommended follows, I'd be glad to hear about them.

I was reading through the 2022 #Cacowards earlier and discovered #Doom CE: a port of the #PSX & #N64 games written in ZScript and running on #GZDoom which should allow compatibility with other mods.

I gave them a spin earlier today and yeah, they're quite good! I'll definitely want to try them with mods on stream eventually!

It’s #Cacowards time! The #doom community holds an award ceremony every year for all the brilliant community creations. Also? Excellently written.

@fraggle Hey, question, what do you know about the 2022 #Cacowards, when does the voting start?
